In our current phytochemical investigation on the Tunisian plant Lycium arabicum Schweinf. ex Boiss., we attempted to explore the oil obtained from its fruits. This oil was extracted by cold maceration with ethanol and was analyzed to estimate its sterol and fatty acid content. The physicochemical parameters of the oil were also examined. They were specified in terms of acid value (0.8 ± 0.01 mg KOH g–1 oil), peroxide value (10.9 ± 0.02 meq O2 kg–1 oil), saponification value (162.97 ± 0.03 mg KOH g–1 oil), chlorophylls (1.011 ± 0.03 mg kg–1 oil) and carotenoids (42.1 ± 0.05mg kg–1 oil).

Viburnum mullaha is a popular wild edible fruit widely distributed in Nepal’s mid-hills. Locals consume the fruits of the plants raw and use them to treat a variety of diseases. High value of fat (15%) and protein (3.94%) was evaluated in the seed compared to the pulp with fat 2.1% and protein 1.17%. Both the pulp and the seed exhibited high values of total phenolic content (3346.1 1 ± 0.05 and 2331.03 ± 0.02 mg QAEs/100 g respectively).
